During a business trip accompanying a delegation of pharmacologists. I had the opportunity to visit the Institute of Medicine, in Washington DC. The Institute provides a vital service by working outside the framework of government to ensure scientifically informed analysis and independent guidance.
And if the lectures prove to ibe too technical for a lay-man as myself, you can marvel at the architecture - designed with medicine in mind. The centre stairwell is a single helix, I waited for someone to climb the stair before I clicked the shot.
